BlackBerry is going to make one unconventional phone per year

You're probably gonna get warned for not adding any thoughts/comments about the link. But this is perhaps the most interesting part for me:

Speaking to Reuters, Ron Louks, president of devices and emerging solutions at BlackBerry, said the company intends to launch one unconventional device per year. Louks stated they already have one such device in the works and carriers have already provided positive feedback.

My guess is that "slider" style keyboard patent we saw a little while back.
Considering BlackBerry's new philosophy - keyboard phones for the foreseeable future - I hope unconventional means an all new touch screen phone.

One can dream right?!

Lol... I rather doubt it. But hopefully they still churn out a "boring all touch" device, for those that prefer them (I mean, they're easier to make aren't they?)
